"If we recognize that fascism is the wrong organizing construct for our beautiful country and its good people, we have instantly enlisted on the right side. But that won’t be enough, just as enlisting more soldiers has nothing to do with winning or losing in Iraq."

"If all the energies now being expended on political action by freedom advocates around the world were focused instead on finding individual solutions, on allowing the “invisible hand” free reign, we would marvel at the ideas and mechanisms that would be bound to evolve."

"Many biotech companies around the world are working on using algae to produce ethanol or biodiesels that could replace traditional transport fuels while avoiding the problems raised by traditional crop-based biofuels, such as displacing food crops. A Sapphire spokesperson said that, with algae, there was no need to use valuable farmland to grow the basic resource. 'In fact the process uses non-arable land and non-potable water and delivers 10 to 100 times more energy per acre than cropland biofuels'."

"While the USPTO hasn't formally called for the abolition of software patents, the positions it took in these cases do suggest a growing skepticism. ... The Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that abstract concepts and mathematical algorithms are not patentable."
"Our only hope for scaling back state capitalism through changes in state policy will lie, not in whether Tweedle Dum or Tweedle Dee controls the state, but in the barbarians who pressure it from outside."

"After armed federal agents raided his dispensary in 2007, Lynch now finds himself in the midst of a trial that could land him in prison for the rest of his life. On Tuesday Owen Beck was called to the stand to speak on Lynch’s behalf—and then promptly silenced."

"It is potentially fatal for an individual to allow himself, or herself, to be psychologically disarmed by someone who wears a costume and carries a gun. This is certainly true where street criminals are concerned. But in historic terms, it is even deadlier to allow one's self to be disarmed, in any sense, by agents of the State."

"Under prohibition, Rachel faced up to five years in prison for possessing a small amount of marijuana. Under prohibition, the police in Rachel's community viewed her as nothing more than a common 'criminal,' and threatened her with years in jail unless she cooperated with them as an untrained, unsupervised confidential informant."

"Americans and Zimbabweans are both troubled by rising prices and the devaluation of their money. The only difference between the two is the degree. Clearly, the economic situation in the United States has not reached the level that it has in Zimbabwe. But what assurance do we have that it won’t reach that level?"

"The primary function of government is to enforce special privilege for big business and the wealthy: to keep land and capital artificially scarce, to subsidize the operating expenses of big business, to protect big business from the destructive effects of market competition on its profits, and to keep the working population in line. The secondary function of government, through minimal labor laws, welfare spending and social safety nets, is to prevent the destabilizing effects resulting from the exercise of its primary function."

"Political leadership is inseparable from the exercise of state coercion, and while many speak of the 'arrogance of power,' every exercise of power by which some coerce others is the essence of arrogance!"

"The market doesn’t merely discover what’s already there waiting to be discovered, like someone’s discovering an island. Rather, the market process creates what it 'discovers' by virtue of being an environment in which freely choosing individuals do things in particular situations that they might never have anticipated doing had they not faced those situations."

"The truth is that the state must hide not only its wars but all of its activities. It hides its inflation. It hides the effects of its taxation and its protectionism. It fears anyone who draws the cause-and-effect connection between its activities and their deleterious consequences for the rest of us. It is the most destructive force in our world. Because that truth is so momentous, the state does everything possible to hide the smallest drop of blood."
"Moore discusses the concept of anarchy--which he calls a 'romance' and 'the only morally sensible way to run the world'--in the clip below (at about 2:18 or so), and its application to V for Vendetta."

"An agenda for healthcare reform based on these principles might include the following items: 1) Rein in the Licensing Cartels. ... 2) Eliminate drug patents. ... 3) Mutualize Public and Nonprofit Hospitals."

"Last month, construction was completed on a pilot project that ran fiber optic cables to 400 homes in Ottawa. ... [T]he Ottawa project comes with a twist: rather than providing Internet access for a monthly fee, the company plans to sell the fiber strands outright to individual homeowners. This isn't how we're used to doing telecommunications infrastructure. Traditionally, a 'last mile' copper loop, coax cable, or fiber strand has been owned by an incumbent telephone or cable company, and the customer has paid a monthly fee for telecom services. But, if the Ottawa experiment is a success, that could change."

"A range of sources are suggesting that Google Android and Symbian are likely to merge before the end of the year, but they all seem to be trading off the same research note by J. Gold Associates, which made this claim...."

"The recent research may add a boost to anticipated efforts to secure FDA approval for stevia as a food additive in the United States. Stevia extract has 300 times the sweetness of sugar, and it mixes easily into foods or beverages. It causes no significant increase in blood sugar levels, making it safe for diabetics."

"Instead of building its full faith and credit, the United States government is becoming increasingly faithless and is losing credit by the second while sucking individual Americans into ever-greater debt. Yet, against all expectations, Americans seem to be waking up"
http://www.safehaven.com/article-10811.htm
"Contemporary advocates of National Service, whether they admit it or not, seek to install coercion -- not commerce or contract -- as the organizing principle of the economy. They likewise seek to indoctrinate young Americans in the idea that human needs are best met through social regimentation administered by a supervisory elite. And behind the conceit expressed in the common refrain that National Service teaches a person to serve something 'larger than himself' looms the murderous assumption that the individual exists to serve the pleasure of the State."
http://freedominourtime.blogspot.com/2008/07/servile-nation.html
"From 1989 to 1991, with the collapse of the Soviet Empire and breakup of the U.S.S.R., America had an opportunity to lay down its global burden and become again what Jeane Kirkpatrick called 'a normal country in a normal time.' We let the opportunity pass by, opting instead to use our wealth and power to convert the world to democratic capitalism. And we have reaped the reward of all the other empires that went before: A sinking currency, relative decline, universal enmity, a series of what Rudyard Kipling called 'the savage wars of peace'."

"Republicans think the United States is the salt of the earth and that American hegemony over the rest of the world is not only justified by our great virtue but necessary to our safety. People this full of hubris are incapable of judgment. People incapable of judgment should never be given power."
http://www.counterpunch.org/roberts07232008.html
"The president of the United States has no more right to decide for me what I will do with my life and my possessions than I have to decide for you. Nevertheless, here is the president committing every American to endless meddling throughout the world — and whether he really means everyone or just the federal government is irrelevant because taxpayers have to foot the bill for all of Uncle Sam’s misadventures and suffer the consequences when terrorists retaliate."
http://www.fff.org/comment/com0808a.asp
"How can a government that maintains more than 800 military facilities in more than 140 different foreign countries be anything other than an imperial power? The hundreds of thousands of troops who operate those bases and conduct operations from them, not to mention the approximately 125,000 sailors and Marines aboard the U.S. warships that cruise the oceans, are not going door to door selling Girl Scout cookies. United States of America is the name; intimidation is the game."
http://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=2275
"Obama demanded more war in Afghanistan and, in effect, an invasion of Pakistan. He wants more combat troops, more helicopters, more bombs. Bush may be on his way out, but the Republicans have built an ideological machine that transcends the loss of electoral power — because their collaborators are, as the American writer Mike Whitney put it succinctly, 'bait-and-switch' Democrats, of whom Obama is the prince. ... Barack Obama is the American Blair."
http://www.dissidentvoice.org/2008/07/obama-the-prince-of-bait-and-switch/
"We're happy to see the federal government taking some dramatic action. It reaffirms our faith in our fellow man - he's an idiot; as we knew all along. And it confirms our opinion of the political class - they're grifters, chiselers and opportunists."
http://www.dailyreckoning.com/Issues/2008/DR073108.html
"Sober observers understand it to be the most corrupt legislative assembly in human history. To those characterizations of the United States Senate we must now add another, perhaps the final one: Gravedigger of the republic."

"[T]here’s something really nauseating about a model of 'Progressive' politics that’s perfectly willing to leave the present structures of political and economic power intact, so long as the board rooms and cabinets contain a representative selection of races and genders ('look like America,' as Slick Willie put it)."
http://www.theartofthepossible.net/2008/07/19/i-have-a-dream/
"If you doubt that elections are all about buying and selling votes, consider a few of the promises being made by the two major-party candidates for president."
http://www.fff.org/comment/com0807f.asp
"A loss in confidence in the system is justified because the system is faulty to begin with. There is nothing for it but to end legal tender laws and go to fully free markets in banking and money. There is no need to legislate that gold, silver, or anything else serve as money. People acting in free markets can decide that on their own. The answer is free banking."
http://www.lewrockwell.com/rozeff/rozeff212.html
"It is said that the US dollar will eventually reach its intrinsic value, which is zero. This is probably true, but the lack of intrinsic value isn't the main problem facing the dollar and the other fiat currencies of the world. The fact is that money never has any 'intrinsic' value, even when the money is gold and silver coin. "
http://www.safehaven.com/article-10864.htm
"Ultimately, the debate over whether we are experiencing inflation or deflation is a simple one if it is only a matter of observing the change in the money supply. The debate becomes far more complex, however, if its purpose is to predict what will happen in the future."
"A detailed analysis backed earlier work by the same group that showed that people cooperate more often with cooperators than with defectors; people write more positive gossip about cooperators than about defectors; and people cooperate more with people about whom they read positive gossip than with people about whom they read negative gossip."
"The benefits of paying have to be evident and transparent. This takes creativity to produce and work to convey simply. Unless the benefits of paying are obvious, paying is made difficult."
http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/archives/2008/08/people_want_to.php
"American corporate capitalism is, in fact, a statist construct to its very core. It depends on massive government subsidies to its operating costs, and on the restriction of competition by cartelizing regulations. Global corporations depend on 'intellectual property' legislation that is more protectionist, and more central to corporate power, than the tariff was a century ago. The main function of so-called 'free trade' agreements is not lower tariffs, but 1) the extension — on a massive scale — [of] such 'intellectual property' law, and 2) enabling crony capitalist looting (er, excuse me, 'privatization')."
http://www.theartofthepossible.net/2008/07/31/framing-and-memetic-warfare/
"Of course, this is just the genius of modern Anglo-Saxon capitalism - the most capitalist institutions pay out their capital in bonuses. Then, when they get in a jamb, they turn to the taxpayer for relief. Of course, the taxpayer spent all his money too. He's lucky to be able to fill his gas tank - with a credit card! Which is why Hank Paulson is so eager to deceive the world. He knows that if the foreigners ever catch on to what a scam the United States is running, they'll stop lending it money. And then, Wall Street, Washington, and the lumpenconsumer himself are all up the creek."
http://www.dailyreckoning.com/Issues/2008/DR072808.html
"How can the liabilities of one private firm be 'money,' while those of another (Chrysler Corporation, for instance) be simply evidence of debt? Is there some definition of 'money' somewhere that defines bank credit as money? Maybe, but I haven’t found it. And if bank credit is, by some permutation of law, actual money, then by what law may a private firm, such as your local bank, create a nation’s money? Questions abound, although it seems to me that they’re rarely, if ever, asked, and when they are, never answered."

"You always want to know what the party on the other side of your trade is thinking. When that party is the United States of America, the stakes rise in kind."
"And the No. 1 reason the feds won't leave Whole Foods alone: Because everyone knows that business goes better when government gets in the way."
"When a country goes to war (more precisely, invades and occupies another country), it sounds as though only one entity is acting. But there are really at least two groups involved: the government and the population it dominates. (Of course, the government and population can each be made up of many people with different and conflicting interests.) So 'we' don’t go to war. A small group of policymakers takes the rest of us to war."
http://www.fff.org/comment/com0807d.asp
"Judge Denson has, in this excellent book, expertly solved a difficult problem. Wars are a principal means for the state to increase its power."
"When the history of the late, great nation known as America is written, our own homegrown jackals will be rightly blamed for the destruction. Forgotten will be the nineteen G-string jihadists with their Korans and boxcutters. If the history books are honest and the historians adroit, the blame will lie less with the Taliban and more with the Ivy League educated in their tailored suits and power ties. "

"Morris neither knows nor cares about Iran's alleged nukes. Lurking behind his mundane laundry list of complaints is, I fear, a darker motive: sheer bloodlust. Morris simply wants to kill as many Muslims as possible, so why doesn't he just come out and say it? After all, it isn't like he hasn't said it before...."

"Pakistan has long wanted influence in neighboring Afghanistan and wholeheartedly supported the Taliban rulers of that country before 9/11. In return, for increased influence in Afghanistan through its Taliban proxy, Pakistan would have to find the al-Qaeda leadership and turn it over to the United States. (If a stick is needed, the U.S. could threaten to cut off the billions in military and economic aid Pakistan receives if the Pakistanis do not produce the al-Qaeda chieftains.)"
http://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=2282
"In the new century, Ellsberg has continued speaking out, condemning official lies, and appealing to Americans to recognize that wars are far bloodier and more costly than leaders claim. "

"The story is riveting in its own right, not only as monetary history but as business history. He has highlighted a fantastic industry that has long gone unnoticed. But beyond that, there is a massively important economic point. What Selgin has done here is help us to understand something critically important: were it not for the state, a wholly private money system would emerge from market exchange."
http://www.lewrockwell.com/mises-store/good-money.html
"'Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.' He [Jerry Garcia] wanted no part of such a choice, preferring instead to put his money and energies towards grassroots causes. It seems he understood that once one makes an allegiance with evil--even the lesser one--they risk becoming part of that evil themselves. The more active the allegiance, the greater the risk."

"[B]asically the entire world—is tied to the fate of the U.S. dollar. Since the reserve is still the dollar, as it goes down in value it obviously means that all nations that hold dollars are in trouble as well. The implications from monetary history are not good...."

"Paper, one of the four Great Inventions by the Ancient Chinese along with printing, the compass and gun powder, was invented by Cai Lun in 105 A.D. from bark, rags, wheat stalks and other materials. The first historical use with paper money began shortly thereafter around 140 B.C., nearly 1800 years before its arrival in Europe."
http://www.safehaven.com/article-10795.htm
"The conquest and occupation of Iraq was never about oil, just as it was never about 'liberation,' 'democracy,' or any of the other rhetorical flourishes so beloved by the President's speechwriters. It was and is an attempt to establish a forward base from which to launch further attacks on Muslim nations in the Middle East and Central Asia – and so it remains."
http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=13225
"If the United States is smart, it will avoid the consequences of the likely future divorce among Iraqi groups and move toward Obama’s tendency to declare victory and start leaving while things are going better. Such a policy would leave a better chance of U.S. forces avoiding the likely coming storm of resumed violence. "
http://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=2277
"Both the Bush administration and the US military appear to harbor the illusion that the US troop presence in Iraq still confers effective political control over its clients in Baghdad. However, the change in the Maliki regime's behavior over the past six months, starting with the prime minister's abrupt refusal to go along with General David Petraeus' plan for a joint operation in the southern city of Basra in mid-March, strongly suggests that the era of Iraqi dependence on the US has ended. "

"The initial invasion in 2001 was easy because the Taliban had alienated itself from the vast majority of Afghans. But the weight of occupation, and the rising number of civilian deaths, is shifting the resistance toward a war of national liberation. No foreign power has ever won that battle in Afghanistan."

"The economic sky is quickly darkening and Bernanke made no effort to hide his concern. His testimony was as close to the truth as one gets in Washington where honesty is usually eradicated like a malignant tumor. In any event, it is worth wading through Bernanke’s speech word by word even if it only reinforces one’s belief that the economy is about to take a sleigh-ride through a deflationary blast-furnace which will ultimately result in the demise of Breton Woods, the disorderly replacement of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, and an end to the United States short-lived dominance as the world’s lone superpower. The American Century has about run out of steam just eight years into the new millennium. Bernanke’s presentation confirms what the econo-bloggers have been saying for the past three years: the end is nigh, get your house in order."

"There will be no starving of any beasts. There will only be the creation of bigger wealth-sucking leviathan bureaucracies. Other governments will reject our paper, painful as it might be for them initially, and the US dollar will lose its status as the world's reserve currency."

"[T]he Joker has a trait that we tend to see in evil people. He carries around with him a peculiar assumption, never really questioned. He assumes that everyone else is secretly as bad as he is. Anything that appears otherwise, he believes to be a façade. It is a mask that must be ripped off. In seeking confirmation for this assumption, he entertains himself by putting people in impossible situations that will reveal their core corruption. He revels in pushing people who think they are good into embracing their inner evil. Hence his obsession with ripping off Batman's mask. He must show the world that Batman is as bad as he is."

"[A]cademic scholars working on Hurston tend to be baffled by her politics. Again and again in the academic literature on Hurston, one finds some version of the puzzled question 'Why does she seem so sensibly left-wing on some issues and so horrifically right-wing on others?'

"Recognition of space as pervaded by plasma, and hence able to conduct electric currents, is what distinguishes the electrical model of the universe. Electric currents create magnetic fields, which induce secondary currents, which in turn produce their own fields.

"All of us are taught as children not to hit others, not to take their belongings without permission, and not to break our promises. If we need the cooperation of other people, we are expected to rely on persuasion. Force is forbidden. These are sound principles that underpin any decent society, and we are expected to observe them when we become adults. Indeed, both the criminal law and the civil law embody these principles in their prohibitions against murder, assault, burglary, theft, and breach of contract."

"Much of the confusion in our society is that we can't tell the difference between the three. We aren't satisfied with shunning those who disappoint us, we want the law to punish them.

We end up equating people who only served people's voluntary requests, like drug dealers and Wall Street financiers, to be as bad or worse than rapists and other violent felons."

"By defining inflation/deflation in terms of only money-supply changes we incorporate the changes in the supply of credit that LEAD to changes in the supply of money, but not the many changes in the supply of credit that have no effect on the supply of money and, therefore, no long-term effect on money purchasing power."
